How did you learn to be polite as a child?
Pontuação: 60.0Sugestão: Improve clarity, grammar and coherence: start with a clear topic sentence, correct key verbs and nouns, use linking words to organize details, and give one specific example. Keep it within 3–4 sentences. For instance, say who taught you, how they taught you, and a brief result.
Exemplo: I learned to be polite mainly from my parents. They corrected my manners and taught me to say “please” and “thank you,” and my teacher reinforced those lessons at school. Because of their guidance, I still try to be polite in daily situations.
Do you think being polite is very important?
Pontuação: 65.0Sugestão: Focus on grammatical accuracy and clearer supporting details: give a concise topic sentence, use linking phrases (for example, as a result), and provide a specific, natural example. Correct verb forms and avoid redundancy.
Exemplo: Yes, I think politeness is very important because it shows respect and makes communication smoother. As a result, people are more willing to cooperate; for example, when I thank colleagues at work, they respond more positively and tasks are completed more quickly.
× Well I think I learned to reply mostly from my parents because they always correct me and show commanders.
✓ Well, I think I learned to respond mostly from my parents because they always corrected me and gave me examples.
The sentence mixes tenses and uses incorrect word choice: 'reply' is a verb but 'respond' fits better here; 'show commanders' is incorrect and likely meant 'showed examples' or 'gave examples'. Because the student is talking about past learning, verbs should be past tense ('learned', 'corrected', 'gave'). Suggestion: Use consistent past tense and choose appropriate nouns ('examples', 'models', or 'commands' if intended as instructions).
× For example they told me to say these and thank you and make me recap and my teacher at school also praised me and I believe behave well.
✓ For example, they told me to say 'please' and 'thank you' and to recap; my teacher at school also praised me and believed I behaved well.
This sentence has multiple structure and word choice problems. 'these and thank you' is unclear; likely 'please and thank you'. 'make me recap' is incorrect—use 'to recap' or 'to say it back'. Tense consistency: 'praised me and believed I behaved well' keeps past tense. Suggestions: Break into shorter clauses, use parallel infinitives ('to say', 'to recap'), and ensure verbs agree with intended tense.
× So now I still try to be.
✓ So now I still try to be polite.
The fragment 'try to be' needs an object/adjective to complete the idea; adding 'polite' completes the thought and matches present habitual action. Suggestion: Always include the complement after 'be' when describing a state.
× Yes, I think being polite is very important because it shows respect and make communication smoother.
✓ Yes, I think being polite is very important because it shows respect and makes communication smoother.
Subject-verb agreement error: 'communication' is singular so the verb should be 'makes' (third person singular). This relates to present tense and agreement. Suggestion: Use 'makes' with singular subjects.
× So so people are moving to help you.
✓ So people are more willing to help you.
'So so' is redundant and unclear; 'moving to help you' is awkward. The intended meaning is that people become more willing to help, so use 'more willing to help you'. Suggestion: Use common collocations like 'more willing to' or 'likely to'.
× For example, when I say thank you at work, colleagues are nicer, I'm gonna finish task faster.
✓ For example, when I say 'thank you' at work, colleagues are nicer, and I finish tasks faster.
Multiple issues: 'I'm gonna' is informal and incorrect in written formal speech; replace with present simple 'I finish' for habitual result. 'finish task' needs plural or article: 'finish tasks faster'. Also connect clauses with 'and'. Suggestion: Use present simple for habitual actions and standard forms ('I finish tasks faster').
